Springity Spring with Kate Hadfield Designs

Hello everyone!  Happy Spring...finally!  And to herald in warmer temps and

the flowers that are starting to come up, today we are creating a fun spring

card using a digital stamp set from

Springity Spring Digital Stamp Set

This digital stamp set has so many little spring elements.  I only used 6 of them

on my project today, but there are many more!  Let me show you how I made

my card.  I started off by composing my elements in my computer and then

printing them off.  I size them, flip them, set them behind or in front of each

other.  This makes for easy composition.

I wanted to color my panel with my Copic markers.  I do not have a

laser jet printer.  Mine is an inkjet.  I keep that in mind when I am

putting color to an image.  I'm not overly scrubbing color on where

there is printer ink.  If I go over it, it's very gently and that way I

don't encounter any smearing problems.

I knew that I needed to lengthen the image so I added quite a bit of

foreground with my green markers.  The Copic colors I used:

Y00, Y02, Y15, Y17, C2, C3, C5, YG11, YG03, YG25, B000, 

BV000, YR21, R81, R83, R85, RV10

After the coloring was done, I die cut a inner scalloped frame out of

white card stock and colored it with my lightest blue Copic so it would match.  I 

shopped my stash for background paper and found this cute plaid that matched

the colors I had used.  I covered an A2 size card base with this

plaid paper.  Before adhering my colored panel to the scalloped frame,

I stamped a sentiment from my stash using a grey ink.  I adhered the 

colored framed panel to the front of my card.  For embellishment, I

wanted to keep things soft, but I had an annoying black spot where I

had layered the grass close together.  I had some tiny light green  iridescent

stars so I adhered a smattering of those through the grass and that 

covered that little spot.  I also used a shimmer pen on the sun, flower

centers and bee wings.  And that finished my card!

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial.  If you ever have questions about
